Malaika Arora has been in the news due to her on-going relationship with Arjun Kapoor. Well, we aren't complaining, in fact, it is great to see the two growing from strength to strength. Malaika also revealed the main reason why she wanted to get a divorce from Arbaaz was the mere fact that together they were "extremely unhappy."

Malaika recently opened about her separation to BFF Kareena Kapoor Khan on her radio show What Women Want. She started off by talking about the kind of advice she recieved during the divorce process. She said, "I think sab ki pehli yehi raai hai ki mat karna. Koi aapko nahi kahega ki, 'Haan, haan, please jayiye, kariye.' That's the first thing, ki aap soch samajh ke yeh decision lena. I went through the same thing. Even the night before I got divorced, I had my family sit with me and ask me yet again, 'Are you sure? Are you 100 per cent about your decision?' So I think that was something I heard all along and rightly so. These are the people who worry and care so they will definitely say that."

But she also talked about how her friends and family had her back. She said, "Everybody said, 'If this is the decision that you're making, then we're really proud of you and in our eyes, you are a strong woman.' So for me, that kind of gave me that extra strength that I needed. If you are in an unhappy marriage and that's what you decide to do you should do it with a lot of dignity, self-respect. Don't let anybody tell you that you are any less of a woman."

Talking about dating after the divorce she said, that although it's difficult initially to get into the dating pool again, "It's not impossible. Swipe left, right, whatever it might be! Have fun! For the first time in your life, you will also discover a kind of freedom. To be in a bed all alone is also a new feeling!"

Kareena also asked her bestie how Arhaan, Malaika's son, reacted to his parent's divorce. She said, "I would rather see my child in a happy environment than being in an environment that is completely disruptive. I think with time, my child is far more accepting and flourishing. And he can see that we both as individuals are far happier. He did turn around one day and said ‘mom it is good to see you happy and smiling."
